Actors Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt team up to look for Millie’s brother following an apocalyptic battle between bots and humans in Russo Brother’s upcoming Netflix sci-fi film The Electric State, a trailer for which was dropped on Wednesday.
“The robot wars have ended, and all roads lead to The Electric State. Starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt and directed by The Russo Brothers, watch The Electric State on 14 March, only on Netflix,” the streamer wrote alongside the trailer.
The one-minute-29-second trailer opens with a glimpse into the bot rebellion, with Chris Patt’s statement from a live broadcast interview: “The bot rebellion was ugly. They don't eat. They don't sleep. They don't blink. I blink.”
Based on a novel by Simon Stålenhag, the film focuses on sentient robots—once loyal servants to humanity—now exiled after a revolution gone awry. These robots, designed to resemble cartoon characters and mascots, have lost their autonomy, while humans, too, are left fractured in their relationships.
As Michelle (Millie Bobby Brown) explains in the trailer, both robots and humans are disconnected in the wake of the uprising. Michelle, who lost her family during the rebellion, has been living as an orphan until a mysterious robot named Cosmo, seemingly controlled by her missing brother Christopher, appears. This encounter sparks a glimmer of hope that her brother may still be alive.
The Electric State also stars Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Woody Norman, Giancarlo Esposito, Stanley Tucci, Woody Harrelson, Anthony Mackie, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, Hank Azaria, Colman Domingo and Alan Tudyk.
Millie Bobby Brown is currently shooting for the fifth instalment of the Netflix thriller series Stranger Things, also starring Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Gaten Matarazzo, Joe Keery, David Harbour and Winona Ryder. Chris Pratt, who was last seen in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, is currently gearing up for another sci-fi thriller, Mercy, slated to premiere in 2025.
